Kylian Mbappe on Track to Break Real Madrid Debut Season Goalscoring Record

Kylian Mbappé leads Real Madrid with 33 goals this season.

Kylian Mbappé is only five goals away from making history at Real Madrid.

The 26-year-old might have gotten off to a slow start in a white shirt, but he has more than made up for it in the second half of the season. Mbappé now has 33 goals to his name across all competitions and is chasing Real Madrid’s debut season goalscoring record.

In fact, Mbappé already equaled Cristiano Ronaldo’s debut season total; the Frenchman’s brace against Leganés puts him level with the five-time Ballon d’Or winner’s production in his 2009–10 campaign with Real Madrid. Mbappé needs to find the back of the net just one more time to officially surpass Ronaldo in the club’s history books.

Still, Ronaldo is not the record-holder for the most goals scored in a debut season at Real Madrid. Iván Zamorano is atop the charts with 37 goals in his first campaign in a white shirt.

With Los Blancos still alive in the La Liga title race, the Champions League and the Copa del Rey, Mbappé is well on his way to breaking Zamorano’s record.
